MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS
● Online Events Calendar– www.baltimorefunguide.com
Promote your Events
GBCA members receive direct access to the BaltimoreFunGuide as which allows organizations to enter, edit and manage all of their events.
Events posted on the BaltimoreFunGuide also appear on sites belonging to GBCA's Private Label Partners including: Arts Everyday, Baltimore Collegetown Network, Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts, CityLit and Visit Baltimore.
FunGuide events also populate Visit Baltimore's iphone app, iVents: Baltimore-a Free mobile events calendar created by Liquid Plastic Apps.
FunGuide access allows members to have their Music, Dance and Theatre events included in Peabody Magazine's “Arts Alive” section. Before publication of Peabody’s Spring and Fall issues, GBCA members are notified by email of the deadline by which events must be entered into the FunGuide in order to be included in the magazine.
Members: If you do not have a GBCA issued user name and password, have forgotten your log-in information, or need a venue added to the FunGuide, please email Sarah Cordi scordi@baltimoreculture.org.
● FunSavers - Weekly Half Price Ticket Emails

Sign-up for the FunSaver!
Members: All FunSaver offers must first be entered into the FunGuide, the same way you enter any other event. Then, create the Offer by clicking on “FunSaver Offers” in the vertical blue column on the left. Then, click “Create New Offer” and fill out the form.
